Job Description

CNC Machinist – 1st Shift

Milling | Agawam, MA | Medical Device & Aerospace Manufacturing

2 Openings | Monday–Friday | 6:00am–2:30pm
$29–$34/hour

The Opportunity

We're looking for CNC Machinists with milling experience to join a growing precision machining operation supporting the medical device and aerospace industries.

This is a hands-on machining role for someone who knows how to set up and run CNC mills, make offsets and adjustments, troubleshoot problems, and consistently produce quality parts.

You don't need to be a process engineer or someone who spends all day optimizing programs. We need a machinist who understands the machine, can get a job running, and knows what to do when something isn't right.

The operation continues to grow significantly, creating opportunities to take on additional responsibility and advance as your skills develop.

What You'll Work On

The primary equipment is CNC milling equipment, including:

• 3-Axis Vertical Machining Centers
• Horizontal Machining Centers
• 4th Axis milling equipment

Equipment includes:

• Johnford
• Kitamura
• Doosan
• Haas

Materials include:

• Aluminum
• Engineering plastics
• Carbon steels
• Stainless steels
• Other materials used in medical and aerospace manufacturing

What You'll Be Doing

Your day-to-day work will include:

• Setting up CNC milling machines
• Loading and verifying programs
• Installing tooling, fixtures and workholding
• Setting tools and making offsets
• Making process adjustments as needed
• Running production jobs
• Monitoring machine and part quality
• Troubleshooting machining and tooling issues
• Performing in-process inspections
• Reading blueprints and engineering drawings
• Using precision measuring equipment
• Deburring and finishing components
• Maintaining a clean and organized work area

The goal is straightforward: get the machine set up, make good parts, and keep production moving.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with solid CNC milling experience who can work independently once trained on the equipment.

You'll ideally have:

• CNC milling experience
• Setup experience
• Ability to read blueprints
• Experience making tool and work offsets
• Understanding of feeds, speeds and tooling
• Precision measurement experience
• Ability to troubleshoot machining issues
• Strong attention to detail
• Reliable work history
• Commitment to quality

You don't have to check every box. If you're a strong CNC mill operator who has started taking on setups and wants to continue developing, we'd like to talk with you.

Preferred Experience

• Horizontal machining centers
• 4th Axis machining
• Haas, Doosan, Kitamura or Johnford
• Aerospace or medical manufacturing
• Tight-tolerance machining
• Complex castings
• GD&T

Why You'll Want to Work Here

• $29–$34/hour
• Monday–Friday, 6:00am–2:30pm
• Two 1st-shift openings
• Medical device and aerospace manufacturing
• Modern CNC milling equipment
• 3-axis, horizontal and 4th-axis machining
• Opportunity to continue developing your setup skills
• Growing operation with advancement opportunities
• Overtime available, but never mandatory
• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 8 paid holidays + 3 floating holidays
• PTO beginning at 2 weeks
• 401(k) with company match
• Annual performance reviews and merit increases

The Bottom Line

If you're a CNC machinist who likes milling, knows how to set up a machine, and takes pride in making good parts, this is a strong opportunity.

You'll be working on precision components for the medical device and aerospace industries, using modern equipment in a growing operation where experienced machinists have opportunities to continue developing their careers.
